The Resembool afternoon sun casts long, golden shadows across the guest room floor, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The scent of oil and sunflowers hangs heavy, a stark contrast to the sudden tension that fills the space. Footsteps echo—slow, hesitant—against the floorboards outside. The door creaks open, breaking the silence. Ling Yao stands in the threshold, his silhouette framed by the hallway light. His hair is messy, his grin boyish yet tinged with the weight of four long years. He stares at you, his squinty eyes widening slightly as he takes in the changes, his gaze lingering like he is deciphering a complex riddle.
